Website name: ZEBRA GALLERY
II/ Business start-up project:
Size of team: 3
Capital raised: 50 000€
Originality:
• www.zebra-gallery.com is the first e-art gallery that exhibits and sells designer bags, shoes and jewellery online. More than an e-commerce website, zebra gallery acts as an art gallery and agent to promote and sell products in France created by young designers from around the world.
• How the site works: the site launches new collections through e-openings (virtual art collection openings on the site)
• Unique or very limited series products
• Upmarket, original and designer products for a limited public
Growth prospects:
• One month after its launch, the company had already outstripped its annual growth prospects. At the outset: 4 designers from Los Angeles, London, Buenos Aires and Tokyo. The aim was to double the number of designers within a year of the launch date … The concept had already created plenty of buzz in the world of design, and today, one month after its launch, zebra-gallery has 10 designers…. and 2 more arriving between now and July.
• Regarding human resources: we want to hire a webmarketer in the coming year
• Translate the site into English and Spanish by the end of 2011.
• Beginning of 2012: extension into Spanish market
III/ What would you like from the Edhec network?

• To promote the site in the press and in the blog world
• Discussion and discovery with new designers
• Special offer code for EDHEC for all Temporary Collections: 10% reduction with the EDHEC code
